Drs appointments galore

[Charris]

Well im finally getting on the ball and going to the specialist i need to. The 1st being the cardiologist since my primary and pain management could only talk about that people die from congestive heart failure. Pain management said no one she knows has died of pain but they have from congestive heart failure. My primary care started to cry when i recalled everything since me being in hospital since April. Apparently her mother had a very similar hospital history and eventually did not make it due to CHF.

I saw the cardiologist today and he doesn't believe it is CHF. But i have an appointment for a heart ultrasound. So i should find out in 2 weeks. Can't remember appointment date right off

That sounds intense. My mom has congestive heart failure and 50% die within the first five years but she's made it 8 years. If she does what her cardiologist says she doesn't have any symptoms usually. Randomly she'll start filling up with fluid though and need to increase her Lasix. Hopefully you won't have this and the tests will clear you!

C - So glad you are getting to a specialist and will find out exactly what is going on. I know this has got to have been an incredible shock and roller coaster ride. Please make sure to look after your emotional side as well as physical. I want only the best for you.

Hematologist says that i could have become deficient because of the bowle blockage removal. He said my niacin and copper could be deficient. He said no one ever checks it. The first time i got in trouble Dr.K figured out it was magnesium, copper and niacin. I forgot to tell them about the delivery of my alien. He was talking to me about my intestinal surgery and i kept saying yes Wls he was like no they saw another surgery. That's when i realized he was talking about the bowel removal.

very intense, you have already been through so much and it continues! I hope you get answers soon!



for what it's worth, my Dad had CHF and lived with it a long time.
